Image processing part 30 has: image amplifies/dwindles processing unit 31, is used for calling over image that pending integration layout handles and each amplifies/dwindle processing to these images; Image cutting processing unit 32 is used for extracting master object and primary standard substance from amplify/dwindle the image that processing unit 31 amplifies/dwindle processing through image; And color of image correcting process unit 33, be used to carry out various Flame Image Process, carry out color correct such as the master object that the cutting processing by image cutting processing unit 32 is obtained, and the removal primary standard substance/fill remaining area with background color.In color of image correcting process unit 33, carried out image correction image sequence be sent to image output unit 13.Image amplifies/dwindles correction size quantity that processing unit 31 sets according to the correction size quantity setup unit 29 of handling standard determination portion 20 and amplifies and dwindle.The correction color reproduction amount that color of image correcting process unit 33 is set according to the correction color reproduction amount setup unit 25 of the standard of processing determination portion 20 is carried out color correct and is handled.
Each function of image processing server 1 shown in Figure 2 is realized by the CPU that uses RAM etc. as the image processing server 1 of working storage.For example, color of object information memory cell 23 and target size information memory cell 27 are realized by the storage medium such as hard disk drive (HDD) that is arranged in image processing server 1.
Next the processing that each functional module (unit) shown in Figure 2 is carried out is described.
Fig. 3 is the processing of mainly being carried out by the standard of processing determination portion 20, promptly according to the process flow diagram of the processing of each primary standard substance computed correction.In image processing server 1, image input block 11 receives process object image (view data, digital picture) (step 101).The sequence number distribution/total counting number processing unit 12 distributes picture numbers Gn (step 102) to the image of being imported, and the total N (step 103) of computed image.Processing standard determination portion 20 is read Gn the image for the treatment of by image processing part 30 processing (step 104), and sets the processing standard.
In handling standard determination portion 20, at first, primary standard substance discrimination unit 21 is separated and is distinguished and is included in Gn the primary standard substance (step 105) in the image.Under primary standard substance is spherical situation, can be by preparing circular digital mask, and entire image is filtered scanning carry out pattern match with circle, thereby can distinguish primary standard substance.Perhaps can be by received image signal being carried out binaryzation, background and a plurality of object being separated, determined the distance between the edge of (360 degree) around the center and peripheral and computing center and center of each object distinguishes the circular horizon thing.From reducing the pattern numbers purpose angle that will mate, it is preferred adopting spherical primary standard substance.Certainly, prepare a plurality of patterns, also can adopt the primary standard substance of rectangle or some other shape by considering shooting angle etc.The primary standard substance of distinguishing thus is sent to primary standard substance color extracting processing unit 22 and primary standard substance size extraction processing unit 26.
Extract in processing unit 26 and the primary standard substance color extracting processing unit 22 in the primary standard substance size, distinguish the dimension information (size) and the colouring information (color) (step 106) of primary standard substance.From primary standard substance, extracting in the process of size, for example, measuring the size itself of handling the primary standard substance in the object images.For example, if primary standard substance is spherical, then extract the diameter of the ball in the photographic images.For example, in the process of from primary standard substance, extracting colouring information, considered the color conversion of the characteristic of digital camera 4, with R (red), G (green), B (indigo plant) conversion of signals in L*a*b* color space as even color space.When obtaining digital picture, provide the part of the characteristic of each digital camera 4 as picture format (as EXIF (exchangeable image file format)).Use this information, primary standard substance color extracting processing unit 22 can be discerned the characteristic of each digital camera 4.
Subsequently, in the standard of processing determination portion 20, from target size information memory cell 27 and color of object information memory cell 23, read the target size (standard value) and the color of object (Standard Colors) (step 107) of primary standard substance respectively.The standard value that primary standard substance size that 28 pairs of primary standard substance size comparing units obtain from image and target size information memory cell 27 provide compares, and the Standard Colors that the primary standard substance color obtained from image of 24 pairs of primary standard substance color comparing units and color of object information memory cell 23 provide compares (step 108).Subsequently, revise size quantity setup unit 29 and revise color reproduction amount setup unit 25 setting correction size quantity and correction color reproduction amount (step 109) respectively.Finished the correction computing subsequently.In the setting of revising the color reproduction amount, the primary standard substance color of primary standard substance color comparing unit 24 relatively in, the primary standard substance image L*a*b* value that produces by conversion and the L*a*b* value of target object are compared, thereby obtained gray scale correction reproduction amount by the L* value, obtained grey balance correction reproduction amount etc. by the a*b* value.Brightness/the colour difference signal that is converted to also can be the YCC signal, rather than the L*a*b* signal.Brightness/the colour difference signal and the color of object information that obtain by conversion are compared, and can make up the color reproduction variable setting apparatus, obtaining the gray scale correction by luminance signal (L*, Y etc.), and obtain the grey balance correction by colour difference signal (a*b*, CC etc.).In the YCC color space, Y represents brightness (luminance brightness), and CC represents color (or aberration).
For example, can make up each color of object information memory cell 23 and target size information memory cell 27 by this way, so that the target information of primary standard substance is stored in the storer that is used for various types of process object images.For example, the target information of Memory Reference thing A is used for candy wrapping, and the target information of Memory Reference thing B is used for toy (as the model car).The user also can be each primary standard substance and sets independent desired value.Further, thus can configuration-system when each digital picture is read in image processing server 1, the desired value of itself and primary standard substance is associated.For example do like this: image database server 2 provides each digital picture with additional attribute thereon.Under the situation that is difficult to automatic adeditive attribute, it is effective coming adeditive attribute (or type) by the user.For example, also can be input to desired value in the EXIF zone of the unique information that can store each digital picture.In this case, be to be undertaken as long as take by the digital camera 4 that can in this zone, insert unique information, image processing server 1 just can automatically be read this unique information, and obtains desired value at an easy rate.
The flow process that image correction is handled will be described below.
Fig. 4 is the process flow diagram of mainly being handled by the image correction of image processing part 30 execution.In image processing server 1, at first, image input block 11 receives process object object (view data, digital picture) (step 201).Sequence number distribution/total counting number processing unit 12 is that input picture distributes picture numbers Gn (step 202), and the total N (step 203) of computed image.Image processing part 30 is read Gn the image (step 204) that pending image correction is handled.Subsequently, image processing part 30 obtains the correction size quantity (step 205) of the relevant image of being set by the standard of processing determination portion 20 (i.e. Gn image).The image of image processing part 30 amplifies/dwindles processing unit 31 and uses the correction size quantity that is obtained to carry out the amplification of associated picture/dwindle processing (step 206).
The image cutting processing unit 32 of image processing part 30 discerns and distinguishes object and primary standard substance (step 207) from pass through the image that amplifies/dwindle processing.Image cutting processing unit 32 carries out the object layout to be handled, and for example the movement of objects of being extracted is arrived the center (step 208) of image.Subsequently, image processing part 30 obtains the correction color reproduction amount (step 209) of the associated picture of being set by the standard of processing determination portion 20 (i.e. Gn image).The image that the color of image correcting process unit 33 of image processing part 30 is handled layout according to the correction color reproduction amount that is obtained carries out color correct, and fill the processing of extracting part remaining behind the primary standard substance, make remainder and background picture (object part in addition in the image) consistent (step 210).At this moment, preferably, not only the image information of primary standard substance is replaced by background image information, and the information relevant with primary standard substance (shade that generates as the relation because of primary standard substance and incident light) is also replaced by background image information.
Subsequently, the corrected image of image output unit 13 outputs.Determine that at this whether picture numbers Gn is less than total number of images N (step 211).If Gn is less than total number of images N, then process turns back to step 204 and carries out above-mentioned step once more, if Gn is not less than total number of images N, determines that then all image N have passed through correcting process, and image correction is finished dealing with.In image output unit 13, carry out layout by image processing part 30 processed images in the above described manner and handle, thereby from the integration layout image of image output unit 13 outputs shown in Fig. 6 (b).This system can be configured to image output unit 13 and one by one export the composition diagram picture, and carries out last integration processing by the terminal (for example display device 6 or print image treating apparatus 8) of output (comprising demonstration) layout image.
In step 208, realize object moving in the following manner to picture centre.At first carry out binaryzation, subsequently this object is carried out mark.Subsequently, calculate the maximum circumscribed rectangle of the object of process mark.For example, when coordinate origin is positioned at the upper left corner, vertical and the horizontal sides of the maximum circumscribed rectangle of calculating as follows: have the min coordinates value top, have the min coordinates value high order end, have the lowermost end of maximum coordinates value, and low order end with maximum coordinates value.After having calculated the circumscribed reference position of object by this way, just can determine the center of gravity of object.The centre of gravity place of the object of every width of cloth image is moved to the center of image, thereby can obtain to be convenient to the integration layout image that the user checks.
Except that above-mentioned processing, image processing part 30 also can carry out background removal, background is unified or picture quality enhancement process (as luminance brightness correction, color correct, grey balance correction or gray scale correction).In addition, for example, image processing part 30 can also have such function: the smoothing processing that is used for squelch; Revise object images according to (for example) and in image distribution, be in the luminance brightness correction that bright side or dark side are come moving reference point; Be used for regulating bright/shade correction of the distribution character of the light of image distribution and dash area; And by obtain bright/dark contrast correction that distribution is revised bright/dark contrast by bright/dark distribution histogram.For example, image processing part 30 can also have these functions: tone/color balance correction is used for the misalignment of the brightest white portion as benchmark correction white portion; The saturation degree correction is used to make image than low saturation more bright-coloured and reduce processing near the saturation degree of the image of grey; And the storage color correct relevant with the specific memory color, such as making the colour of skin more approach storage color as the benchmark color.Further, image processing part 30 also can have the sharpness enhancement function, for example, determines marginal sharpness (edge intensity) by the edge level (edge level) of entire image, and makes image more clear.Not only can be modified to standard value (as the color of object and the target size of primary standard substance) to the characteristic parameter of each object in a manner mentioned above, and can integrate layout at this and add image is more convenient for processing that the user checks in handling.
In image processing part 30, image amplifies/dwindles processing unit 31 and amplified in proportion or downscaled images before image cutting processing unit 32 carries out the cutting processing.Yet, only can amplify/dwindle processing to the view data of extraction object.
